Saving read mail

I have spent the better part of the day fixing problems with the Mail app on my computer so I could start using it instead of AOL mail. I had been repeatedly assured that Mail was a huge improvement on AOL. So far I have been unable to find a way to automatically save read mail to a folder somewhere. In AOL mail I can save mail as I read it. This allows me to only read the mail that I am interested in, and delete the rest, knowing that I have saved the good bits. If OSX Mail can't do this, I have just wasted my day. Saving read mail is every bit as important as saving sent mail, why aren't they treated the same? Can anyone help?

Hi again, Mac Kerr
I have spent the better part of the day fixing
problems with the Mail app on my computer
Yeah! I know!
I agree with what Mulder and Allan have said, but I also believe there is a point in what you're saying and it is actually trivial to accomplish something equivalent using a smart folder. You just have to "think different".
Rather than focusing on saving messages as you read them, let's realize that they are all already saved by default, so what you really want is to view the unread ones separately and get rid of the unwanted ones as you view them. Do Mailbox > New Smart Mailbox and choose Message is Unread from the condition pop-up menu.
That's it, really! Use the Smart Mailbox as your main mailbox. Every message deleted from it will be deleted from the Inbox as well and, hence, won't be saved. Every message read will disappear from the Smart Mailbox as soon as you select another mailbox and go back to the Smart Mailbox, but it won't actually be deleted, it just won't appear there because it no longer meets the condition.

Hi James,
sorry for my delay.
You mean that you found the folders in your Library/Mail/etc... ??
Strange that you have the messages there and not in your Mail program. It is clear a matter of a database corrupted. Inside Mail there is a command Rebuild. this should do the job but there is a risk of a demage to the present Mail. Of course you can explore each single file in the librari folder but you see they are down in a comples structure and you may not find everithing.
I am not so expert to give you a safe suggetion.
Before tryoing a rebuilt I would do as follows to be more safe about the possible result.
Create a new user Account in your Mac and copy your complete Mail folder into the Library of the new account.
Then try the rebuild option in the new user account and see what happens. You today mail system will not be affected and you can decide what to do.
To postpone a rebuilt can be an option but if you have a demaged database and you se you can live with the result of a rebuild in the "test" account I would rebuild also your.
For some reason before doing any action I wouyld repair the permission and also check the HD to be sure you do not have any write-read problem.
Let me know if it works.

Will I lose my saved voice mail when I update to the new iOS update?

Will I lose my saved voice mail when I update to the new iOS update

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

Missing "Read Mail" Folder

I had trouble with my Mac yesterday and lost all application preferences. I used to have a "Read Mail" file set up within mail where I would move messages I wished to keep. Is there a data file that was storing these messages? If so, how can I restore or reopen this file?
Power Mac G4, 867 MHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Does such a power outage or spikes occur very often in your area?
If so, you should consider investing in a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) which I would do with a Desktop regardless.
In addition, nothing is better protection than maintaining a regular backup and preferably a bootable clone backup saved to an external firewire drive.
That being said, when you first launched Mail after the power outage and were prompted to re-enter all account information, were you also prompted to import any mailboxes?
All Mail.app data is stored in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. All user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes, locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac or IMAP type account, any imported mailboxes and the Outbox mailbox which is shared by all accounts are located in the Mailboxes folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
Check if this Read Mail mailbox is available. It should be a Read Mail.mbox named folder.

Reading mail @ two different computers

Hi all,
I have a computer at work and one at home. I'd like to get my email at work but I am getting old emails that I've read from the night before AND deleted on the system at home, coming back on to my computer at work. I do have the 'delete messages from server' checked on both systems.
Any ideas?
Dan

How are you reading mail - Mail, or Entourage? Are the computers downloading mail automatically (every x minutes), or only when you click on the "Get Mail" button?
Once the mail client has downloaded the mail, it's saved on that machine until you delete it - doesn't matter if you later delete mail from server from another machine.
Could that be the case?
I use Entourage, set to manual mail retrieval. The "Delete mail from server" does so only when I quit Entourage, or when I click on the "Get mail" button. Until then, it waits patiently until I give Entourage permission to log on to my .mac account to get new mail, and to delete those previous mails.

If you have a replacement phone will your saved voice mails still be there?

If you have a replacement phone will your saved voice mails still be there?

Voicemail is saved on Verizon's server, so unless you change your phone number, your voicemail will be available after changing phones.
The only exception is moving to or from an iPhone - it uses a different system. If iPhones are not involved, or you move from one iPhone to another, messages should be intact.

External Operations - Saved Search Mailer Anyone?

I have an external operation that is performing a saved search mailer. The mail sends and works great, but the urls to the content items are not gatewayed. Is there a setting at the external operation level that can be set so this will happen, or a server configuation option.
thanks,
Craig

How can I read email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as uread on my computer at home. It automatically goes to read mail on my computer. On my computer if I want to keep an email to answer later I can mark it "Keep as New".

How can I read my email from my aol account from my iphone and keep it as "unread" on my computer at home? At home I can read an email and if I want to get back to it at a later date I can mark it as "keep as new". I tend to forget it if it goes to "read" mail. Right now, when I read an email from my phone it goes automatically to "read" mail.

On the iPad, using the mail app, there is no way to do what you are asking without tapping the flag icon and marking the item as unread. Have you tried the OWA app for the iPad? It may have that functionality, but I haven't tested it as you need an Office 365 subscription with Exchange support to use the app.

If you were assuming that every message would have a valid body part
and that they would tell you definitively which parts you should consider to
be "attachments", ya, that won't work. The disposition is a hint at best.
It can be wrong. It might not even be there.

Reading mails from Hmail Server

hi all,

You might want to use IMAP to read mail from hMail Server, if you keep messages on server. It has a lot more features for managing messages on server.
A lot of POP3 implementations (both client and server side) will automatically delete retrieved messages. I don't know exactly what JavaMail does in that regard, nor of hMailServer, but I do know some mailservers out in the wild will ALWAYS delete mails retrieved with POP3.

Saving e-mails from Safari 2.0.3 to Appleworks 6.0

We use Safari & Appleworks in our company. We often need to save e-mails we receive. Our ISP is AOL. We follow the following procedure: open AOL e-mail in Safari, select an e-mail, click print, copy the resulting window and paste it in a new Appleworks document. Two problems this procedure is very long and when we paste the text of the e-mail to an Appleworks document we get the message that this e-mail was not scanned for viruses and a virus was found and removed. How doe we eliminate the message? Is there a quicker method of saving e-mails while preserving the addresses in the saved text?

Hi Hessinc,
The need for automation would naturally allude to either an Automator workflow or an applescript. Do you necessarily have to use AppleWorks? If so, then you would probably have to go down the Applescript route. Automator doesn't have support for Carbon apps, as far as I know. For tutorials and extensive how-to's on scripting, please refer to MacScripter.
If, however, you can use other text editing apps, then you have more options to choose from. For instance, have you thought of maybe printing the email to PDF (via the 'Print' dialog)? Or exporting the text selection to a TextEdit .rtf file (via the 'Services' sub-menu under 'Safari')?
